Concealed carry question... How easy is it to retrieve the gun in an emergency situation if carrying this bag on your back/one shoulder?

Quite difficult. Especially if you have anything in the front pocket adding bulk. The stitching on my bag started to tear apart at the bottom of the shoulder strap. I bought a different bag since then. Something to keep in mind.

Nope but it's a bugout bag and it's where I keep my backup 9mm . It's a great smaller bag

If the bag was on your back like normal. It would take aprox. 10 sec to retrieve the weapon

maxpedition is probably the best out there. Condor is what I'm using now and I have no complaints so far. pretty sturdy.

Not very difficult, a little practice and training will go a long way. I can retrieve my weapon in 3 to 5 seconds. Overall I belive its a nice bag with lots of space and well made.

I can't imagine it would be too hard to break into. And it would be pretty easy to just pick up and take. I store ammo in mine just to keep out of reach of my children. If I was gonna put a lot of valuables in a safe, it wouldn't be this one.

Keep it cased! At least until you get yo where you are playing or shooting. Remember the police are here to protect us (hopefully). Help them by not brandishing your weapon.

I do not have any trouble getting the bag on my shoulder with one hand. It could depend on your height and weight. For instance, I'm 5'4", 115lbs and I can put this bag on my shoulder with one hand. When it is on my shoulder, the very top of the bag sits about 5" below my armpit when my arm is down. I have plenty of room between the bag and my armpit. The 9.5" drop is more than it sounds like. :)

Is it slow to draw? Compared to having your CCW of choice holstered on your hip- Yes. Is it still a better option than not having it at all? Without question. Unless someone OWNS this particular backpack then it is very unlikely that a pick-pocket will know that you are even carrying anything in the hidden compartment. To me the question posed tells me that you are not the type who would typically carry a backpack and thus you wouldn't have much need for an option like this to carry your CCW. However for someone who has to wear business professional attire (tucked in dress shirt and slacks) this is a good option because the need is likely there to have something to keep all your documents/work necessities in and would alleviate the need to constantly keep your suit jacket on so that people would not see the butt of a pistol sticking out of your waistband. I used this backpack almost daily and knowing I had the option to have my CCW somewhat handy and did not need to have it on my hip was a great benefit. Also it is a nice way to carry it while traveling, I could pack almost two days worth of clothes in the bag and I also had someplace to put it in my car so that if I were carrying and got pulled over for anything I would not have to declare that I was carrying to the officer because it was in the backseat out of reach.

I didn't try to carry it in a back pac, my husband and I each have one and took it on a trip to Europe. It was fairly easy to cary it over the shoulder like a bag. I like the size and the seat is larger than some off them.

actually, neither unfortunately. I guess that would be the only downfall of this bag, but to me all the other stuff out weighs that. (plus I don't leave my bag unattended and if it's on me, my arm is always blocking someone from getting into it without me feeling anything).good concern though!

No. A "clip" is not a secure way to carry this. You can purchase holsters (which are secure and fasten) separately.

I really haven't used it for that. I carry it over my shoulder but don't hike or walk around with it a lot. But it seems to be very accessible. And it feels comfortable the way I carry it. Doesn't slip off.

You should call amazon, they will take care of you!!! My shoulder strap was inside the bag, but I'm sure you checked there. Happy snapping!

While I usually carry at the 4:00 position, I did try appendix carry to see what people were talking about. The Versacarry works quite well in this position. Depending what other equipment I carry, I often alternate between right and left side carry as my 380 is usally used as a "back-up" unless I'm dressing down. Then it becomes primary carry.

It's like every other holster - whatever gun you put in it, the grip will stick out. However, it can be completely concealed in the bag - one of the pockets is lined with velcro, which is where the gun goes for the "concealed carry". The holster is soft so it will stick, allowing you to know exactly where your gun is vs. it shifting around in your bag.

The Bulldog case work's well if you want to go without a cover garment. Access is pretty quick and as with all new holster, practice is necessary and recommended. Other modes of carry should be dictated by weather, apparel, and personal preference for comfort. Just practice with whatever you choose so that if the need arises, you will at least be able to defend yourself. Good luck and stay safe.

I have no problem getting the bag on my shoulder one handed. I have been using this bag for 7 months now and i LOVE LOVE it.

It has a slightly sticky outer coating to stay in your pocket, while the inside is slick so the gun comes out easily. It works wonderfully that way, but gravity is on your side: Gravity holds the gun down in you pocket until you want it. Loose, in a purse, the holster it might be a problem. If there were a pocket or compartment to hold the gun upright, that might help, but if the purse got tossed in a chair, or on the floor the gun could easily slip out.

I loved it right away. Tough, and seemingly well built. The pocket clip loosiined though with out my knowledge, and came off, and I lost one of the little screws. I still have it, and still love it, but I don't carry obviously, as I used to everyday. Hope this helps.

If you are RIGHT handed, the gun would go under your LEFT shoulder, so order as a "righty". Think about it. If you are pulling the gun out with your right hand, it can't very well be under your right shoulder. Hope this helps.
